I Wish You Were Here

by Charlia Marie Delacroix

Emil has recently discovered he has an older brother who has passed. He is desperate to find more about this Lukas, but is unsure where to go or what to do. DenNor, DenIce.

"So, about your brother..." Eric stared down at the papers in his hand. "I found out a little bit."

"What did you find?" I asked.

"W-well... it isn't... it isn't anything necessarily positive, Emil."

"So? What did you find out?"

"He... um, committed suicide."

"Oh..." I looked down at the table. Hey, at least it something, right? "Do you know when he did... or..."

"I believe it was about, let's see, five years ago."

I didn't glance up from the table. My chances of finding Lukas had vanished.

"I'm sorry, Emil."

"No, it's all right, Eric." I said. "I didn't really know him."

"Lukas was close to a few people, though," Eric continued.

My gaze shot up from the table. "Like who?"

"Uh... a Swedish guy and another from Finland. Also a guy from Denmark."

"Do you think I could find out about him from them?"

"Probably... I think the Dane's living in Maine, actually."

It was close enough to New York.

And I was desperate to find out about Lukas, whoever he was.

A/N:

Eric is Cameroon, if you were wondering. Emil is living in New York.
